Paper supply apparatus for a printing apparatus

摘要

A paper cartridge for a printing apparatus includes a cartridge body (20); a pressure plate (30) moving upward and downward in the cartridge body (20); a pick-up roller (43) to pick up the paper stacked on the pressure plate (30); a spring (50) to elastically bias the pressure plate (30) toward the pick-up roller (43); a claw unit to support the front end of the paper stacked on the pressure plate (30) and separate the paper picked up by the pick-up roller (43) sheet by sheet; and a cover member (70) pivotably disposed on the paper cartridge (30), to cover the paper stacked on the pressure plate (30) to prevent the paper from being contaminated with foreign material such as dust.
